The scientific literature has shown that the renowned Italian Renaissance artist and genius of human anatomy Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) included his self-portrait into some of his most famous works. It has been suggested that the various self-portraits and self-caricatures the artist used in his works over the years may offer some insight into Michelangelo's physical form and, consequently, provide evidence of his health at different stages of his life. Accordingly, this manuscript presents new evidence [based on facial features described by Daniele of Volterra (1509-1566) and Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574)] that Michelangelo may have inserted his self-portrait into one of the figures that make up the Epifania cartoon, made by the artist in 1553, which is currently in the collection of the British Museum in London, England. Thus, the information contained in this manuscript is not only useful for future analyses of Michelangelo's health [based on facial features] when he was approximately 78 years old, but also how the artist, who was known for being very introspective, saw himself physically in his old age.
科学文献表明，意大利文艺复兴时期的著名艺术家和人体解剖学天才米开朗基罗·博那罗蒂（1475-1564 年）在他的一些最著名的作品中加入了自己的自画像。有人认为，这位艺术家多年来在作品中使用的各种自画像和自画像可能有助于了解米开朗基罗的身体形态，从而为他生命不同阶段的健康状况提供证据。因此，本手稿提出了新的证据[基于达尼埃莱·德尔·沃尔泰拉（1509-1566 年）和乔治·瓦萨里（1511-1574 年）描述的面部特征]，表明米开朗基罗可能将自己的自画像插入了艺术家于 1553 年创作的《埃皮法尼》卡通画中的一个人物形象中，这幅画现收藏于英国伦敦的大英博物馆。因此，这份手稿中的信息不仅对未来分析米开朗基罗大约 78 岁时的健康状况[基于面部特征]有用，还对这位以非常内省著称的艺术家在晚年时如何看待自己的身体状况有用。
